COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Remeber the national championship Clemson team that shut out Ohio State last season? Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson led an offense that scored 36 points on those Tigers and came within one yard on fourth down in the final minute of setting up a win.

Jackson is back. Clemson isn't quite the same team. And the Cardinals get Clemson at home Saturday night.

That 36 by the Cardinals was the second-most points given up by Clemson last year. Off a 14-6 home win over Auburn last week, I think the No. 3 Tigers are a little overrated this season.

So I like Jackson and Louisville to win at home, which means I'm happy to take those three points given to the underdog. But neither Bill Landis, Tim Bielik nor reader picker Matt Gross of Columbus agree with me. Matt is on Twitter @M_Gross17.

They'll pay for that.

These are all of our picks against the spread this week. First, a shout out to reader Robby Strock and Bielik for tying for first last week, while I stunk it up:

Last week's results

Tim: 8-7

Reader Robby: 8-7

Bill: 7-8

Doug: 6-9

We all missed on our Big Ten best bets of the week, so maybe ignore those this week. The overall standings after two weeks are tight and mediocre.

BIG TEN BEST BET

TIM: Wisconsin minus-16 at BYU

BYU's offense has been poor all season, scoring 33 points in three games. It's weird that the Cougars have been bad offensively considering QB Tanner Mangum's experience. Wisconsin has scored 90 points in two games and has a good freshman running back in Jonathan Taylor (310 yards, four TDs).

BILL: Penn State minus-37 vs. Georgia State

This is a glorified FCS opponent coming into Beaver Stadium at night. The Nittany Lions shouldn't sweat in putting up 50 points on Georgia State.

DOUG:Bowling Green +22 at Northwestern

The Wildcats as a heavy home favorite are just not the way to go. Northwestern wins, but it's much closer than 22.

MATT: Wisconsin minus-16 vs. BYU

BYU barely gets the ball past midfield with their atrocious offense. Also, Wisconsin should be able to wear down BYU with their formidable offensive line.
